To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that we, K RRY SoMnEnand CHARLES BAUER, of Newark, eountyof Essex and State of N ew;

, J ersey, have invented new and useful improvements in l luting-Maehines; and we do here by declare the following to beat full, clear, and exactdesciiption thereof sntficient to enable othersskilledin the art to which our invention appertnins to; make and use the same, referencej heii igyhad' tomthe accompanying drawing 7 making partof; this-specification, in whicho Figure l is a side v iv, of our improved fluting-ma-H chine with the cam le eriai'ranged in the front part of ver thrown down; while q l .1

1 ()ur invention relatesto an improvementrin that elassfoffdevices known asftluting-machines r and It consistsof the coznhi'nation and relativearrangement of certain parts, asfjwill hereinafter more fully he in theaceonipanjing dialivinv r a, a repre sentthe flutingi-rollers, formed, preferably,

in one piecewith-firregular corrugations, and having their hearings within the frame or standards (=3 D of the machine proper; their' outer or front ends being provided with gear-wheels which mesh into or engage with each other, hy lwhich means, with the aid ofa crank, the ordinary rotary motion is imparted to-the irregular eorrugationslwere made up from a series of sections sueh have proved expensive ineenstrnotiomowing totheir liability to get out of order.

1 Toovercome these several objections, and at the same time produce a cheap and durable roller, we form the roller from metal in one piece with irregular corrugations, thus saving both expense and labor.

Upon the front end of the machine, within conveni'eut reach of the operator, is pivoted or journaled a cam or eccentric-lever; b, adapted to elevate or lower the upper roller. a \vhe'n'it is desired, and which is hung in the supporting-frame D';

By thus arranging and securing the lever uponthe' front end of the frame or standard :0 of a fluting-machine instead of at its rear, the operator is enabled to readily adjust and readjust the roller when necessary without injuring or in any wayinterfering with the goods or oth'eruiaterial passing betweenthe corrugated rollers.

It is evident that rollers formed. in one piece, or-in" sections, either with straight or corrugated rollers, are adapted to be used in connection with the lever upon t root, end of the frame or-standard of the mae'ljin'e. i H
